Webley, Kayla. "Marc Jacobs - All-TIME 100 Fashion Icons." Time. Time Inc., 02 Apr. 2012. Web. 23 Feb. 2015.

This article is referencing who Marc Jacobs is and how he became who he is today. I believe it is an important article because where you grew up and how you started shapes your personalities and what appeals to you. This is very important in his ideal persona to sell to. As a kid, Marc Jacobs had long hair and was overweight and did not enjoy being the center of attention. He also was one of the youngest designers with some of the best talent. Like said in the article, “"this sort of fairy-tale frog that became a prince," much like himself.”

In this article the author focuses more on Marc Jacobs’ personality. It explores from whom he wishes to dress to his view on human sexuality. I feel his view on human sexuality, which is that he wishes everyone engaged in casual sex because the world would be less worry-some, would and does play a big role in his designs for gender identification. He continues on telling the interviewer that yes, he has many women icons but that doesn't mean he rules out men. It also doesn't mean he is attracted to women dressed in sexy clothing. It is the youth that he finds beautiful and sexy whether it be a young woman or man. http://mademoisellelek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/marcbymarcjacobs.jpg

Friedman, Vanessa. "Marc Jacobs: A ‘Slower’ Pace." The New York Times. The New York Times, 11 Sept. 2014.

Marc Jacobs went back to the past in his A ‘Slower’ Pace fashion line. He based the designs coming down the runway on a movie from back in 1976. I believe, without knowing, Marc Jacobs set a prime example on how he feels toward women in this fashion show. He dressed the women up in army-like clothing including: short dresses with dark navy tones, brass buttons, trench coats and baby-doll dresses. He made each article of clothing alter very slowly from one another for another broad message that the pace of fashion should slow down so we each can have a chance to appreciate what is current before moving onto the next big thing. That both shows Marc Jacobs as a designer and also as a human being.

Moore, Booth. "Five Memorable Shows at N.Y. Fashion Week, including Marc by Marc Jacobs and Thom Browne." Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles Times, 16 Feb. 2014.

Though in this newspaper article it has more than one designer, I think this is a perfect depiction of how Marc Jacobs views men and their sense of style. The author explains how Marc by Marc Jacobs have been running out of style, Marc himself decided to change it’s direction by flipping the idea of Marc by Marc Jacobs inside out. Body suits, motocross t-shirts, BMX-styled sneakers and judo jackets were all featured in the new line. Words such as, “Revolution” and “Twisted” were inscripted on some of the articles of clothing. This really shows the masculine side of Marc Jacobs.

Novellino, Teresa. "Marc by Marc Jacobs Label Cut, Incorporated into Main Label amid Reorganization - New York Business Journal." New York Business Journal. N.p., 23 Mar. 2015. Web. 23 Mar. 2015.

Marc Jacobs is an individual who likes to reach out to everyone, which is what this article depicts. His new line of Marc by Marc Jacobs is getting reorganized in a high-low fashion concept, meaning he wants his designs to be affordable for virtually anyone. He says, “I want to figure out a way to make that incredible fashion available to people on different levels.” Which shows that Marc is a understanding guy that wants everyone to be able to engage in the fashion industry, even if that means just wearing clothing in his line. http://www.metro.us/news/new-york-fashion-week-day-5-marc-jacobs-alive-olivia-and-more/tmWmbl---73YUr8TgPFLgs/FW_Marc2-614x922.jpg

As said in the last article listed, Marc Jacobs is recognized as the common man. He is one of us, too. He showed up to work with mismatching socks and a foam cup filled with coffee with a dream, “To be better. Bigger and better. To build an empire.” His horrible childhood, having many different fathers and a mentally ill mother, is what differs him from other designers. He understands the struggles some people have. His need to please himself before anyone else is a big part on who he became and is today.

Meter, Jonathan Van, and Annie Leibovitz. "Marc Jacobs: A Man for All Seasons." Vogue. N.p., n.d. Web. 23 Mar. 2015.

Once again this article seemed to express Marc Jacobs love for femininity. He looks for feminine colors, like light cool colors or pastels for his articles of clothing but says he is staying away from linens and bed sheets. This shows his dedication and is important because he is truly a man of feminine work on young women directly. He truly will never leave the original plan from where he has come from and what he enjoys just to become mainstream. Not only do the clothes show how much respect he has for young beautiful women, but the music they walk to at shows. For example, Rihanna and Kate Bush.

This article is important because it goes into detail about how Marc Jacobs grew up and who shaped him in his life. His grandmother, who he moved in with as a teenager, really helped get him where he is. This is important because everyone needs help and has someone that pushes you to do the impossible. His grandmother never told him no to anything, whether it was going to a club at 15 or liking to have long hair like girls. Marc Jacobs grandmother and him managed to have a close relationship due to her open-mindedness to his talent in design.

This article is important because it expresses the importance of Louis Vuitton in Marc Jacobs’ life. The Louis Vuitton bags were seen as a fashionable item all the way out in Japan. It is where and how Marc Jacobs began his global recognition. Marc Jacobs sees this global recognition as once again, a way to distinguish and “break down the barriers” between the rich and the less fortunate.

Okwodu, Janelle. "Put Your Selfies to Good Use-Marc Jacobs Is Looking Online for His Latest Face." Style.com. N.p., 18 Mar. 2015. Web. 23 Mar. 2015. This is a short article that really appeals to the common persona. Marc is shown to be looking for ‘normal’ girls for his new campaign through the social media. He is asking girls around the world to post pictures with friends for his fall collection. This is important because it shows his cultural diversity and love for young casual girls that enjoy spending time together.
